Zazen. If the mind is empty, there is no one to be bored.

Don’t believe everything you see on TV. There’s a reason it’s called “the idiot box”.

Haha, Americans are fat. I mean, it’s true: American obesity is about 40 percent. I blame wheat.

I always find it interesting that our ancestors were for the most part fruitarians (fruits, grasses) about 3.5 million years ago. As we evolved, we expanded our diets to include vegetables, meats, and grains, leading to a better balanced diet, which is good especially considering we don’t hunt and gather like they once did.

Ugh, please tell me you saved me a gummer.

Stupid Jimmy Pesto!

Born to stab!

I had MP3 tracks for my car dedicated to this sound effect (both Enterprise and Voyager). With the subs, you could really feel it. Very soothing.

That’s all you can say!

Meh, I stopped playing when zombies learned to dig. I miss my underground minibike tunnels.

I used to get mad and chuck the controller at the NES. Imagine my surprise one day when I broke the cartridge door off. Fucking Battletoads.

The Devil with The Yellow Eyes. Totally worth the watch, has a great cast and soundtrack.

First off, thank you for reaching out. I lost two friends to self destruction, and I’d hate to see anyone else go down that path without any true understanding. You are loved, you are special, you are everything.

I see that you said you’re an old adult, yet in another comment you say you’re 35. That’s still quite young (I’m 47). You’ve got a long way to go, and believe me, it gets better with the right frame of mind. I would encourage you to start listening (or reading) to Alan Watts. The man saved my life (I was certainly on the precipice about 6 years ago), and not only that, but he helped me realize who I really am inside. There is a lot of his lectures on YouTube.

If you like lofi/hip hop, I would definitely check out Akira the Don’s Wattswave albums (II, IV, V, and VI), available on YouTube. It takes a lot of Alan’s works and summarizes them into easily-digestible beats. I started on IV, but II and V is my favorite.

From there, I listened to his other lectures as well as getting into philosophy, mostly Eastern, especially the Tao and Zen Buddhism. If that scratches an itch, here are some of my current favorites…

Books:

• The Book by Alan Watts
• Tao Te Ching by Lao Tzu
• The Book of Five Rings by Musashi Miyamoto
• Dokkodo by Musashi Miyamoto
• Siddhartha by Herman Hesse
• Meditatons by Marcus Aurelius
• The Undiscovered Self by Carl Jung
• The Archaic Revival by Terence McKenna

Video:

• After Skool on YouTube
• Kurzgesagt on YouTube

Remember that you are loved, even if it’s just from a stranger on the internet.

Run sequence oyster.

Lok’tar!

Right as it ramps up to a Cat 5? Fucking guy!

I read the title and immediately thought Estrogen. Explains where my head is at these days.

“First of all…”

Adding this to my Steam wishlist. Looks fun!
